Valentines: More than a million men will show how much they care tomorrow by prsenting

Valentines: More than a million men will show how much they care tomorrow by prsenting their loved ones with bunches of roses. But the romance of Valentines Day will soon dissolve when he realises how much it costs and she finds her flowers are blooming droopy. Over the past few days the price of a dozen red roses has leapt from an average of £ 12 to £ 30 or more. But the real con is in the condition of the blooms. Many are half-dead because greedy growers have stockpiled them for weeks. February 1991 P009044

Couples Flowers Kissing Love Romance


Love and Roses - A Bittersweet Valentine's Day

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from February 1991, we witness the timeless tradition of expressing love through the gifting of roses. Tomorrow, on Valentine's Day, more than a million men will embark on a quest to demonstrate their affection by presenting their beloved ones with beautiful bunches of these vibrant flowers. However, as enchanting as this gesture may seem at first glance, the reality behind it is far from perfect. As Cupid's arrow strikes hearts across the nation, romance quickly dissolves into dismay when both parties realize the exorbitant cost involved in this annual celebration. The price of a dozen red roses has skyrocketed from an average of £12 to an astonishing £30 or more within just a few days. But that's not all – hidden beneath these inflated prices lies another deception. Behind those delicate petals lie half-dead blooms due to greedy growers stockpiling them for weeks in anticipation of high demand. What was meant to be a symbol of everlasting love now wilts before our eyes, leaving disappointment in its wake. This poignant image serves as a reminder that true love transcends materialistic gestures and commercialized expectations. Let us cherish the genuine moments shared between couples during this nostalgic era - where kisses were heartfelt and emotions ran deep - rather than succumbing to societal pressures dictated by profit margins.
